If we’re being completely honest, this has been a very poor transfer window from #MUFC so far. How do you expect to compete at the highest level when your rivals are strengthening with world‑class players and operating freely in an inflated market, without barriers on wages and fees? Yes, Man Utd have implemented a wage structure and price‑cap strategy, but at the end of the day, if you want to compete, you have to pay for the best.
On top of that, United are very poor at selling. Rivals are moving on non‑starters for sizeable fees, while United struggle to shift players who are starting games every week. Does that reduce spending power because of low income generated? Absolutely, but who’s responsible for that? Poor squad planning, poor timing, and poor market strategy.
And whilst I, like many others am hopeful that the signings of Tielemans and Santos will prove successful, these deals weren’t exactly difficult to complete. One was triggered via a release clause, and the other involved a £50m purchase from a club actively looking to offload the player.
There is still time left in this window, and I’m hopeful Michael Carrick is given the players and squad he deserves after securing Champions League football when nobody thought it was possible six months ago.
